Lori,

Thanks for enjoying my journey with me! :0)

I immediately checked out all the links you posted. Awesome!

We are going to Custer state park - staying there IN the park in a "camping cabin" on the lake.

We visited the area about two years ago..did Mount Rushmore, and Crazy Horse. When we drove through Custer State Park, we were all like, "ahhhh, we should have stayed here".

So, this time we are. IN the park, WITH the buffalo (however you spell that). Have you been yet? There is a hike that we did last time (that we will do again) that was just magnificant! It's like you get to the top of the world. There was even a shaggy mountain goat up there to greet us! LOL

I can't believe how you have traveled all over the world WITH your children. What a life changing experience they have had so early in life! All Americans should travel overseas to see how good we have it in America!

Do you homeschool?
